Microsoft applications use both of these to try to determine if a font
is likely to support a certain range. Some fonts do not properly set
those values but most do, especially common ones.

Subject: the Unicode range and code page range bits in the TrueType OS/2
table
Dear i18n folks in Unicode.org
Do we know ANY application on ANY platform use the Unicode range or code
rage field in the TrueType OS/2 table to support different langeuags ?
Does Microsoft applications depend on that ?
Deborah:
How about MacOS and Mac OS Apps
Any Linux application use that ?
Ken:
Do you know any Adobe software depend on that?
I heard a rumer said that those bits are usually unset and keep as 0.
But I found that some of the font are set if I use ttfdump to look at
them.
Thanks
